    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the fan cable connector up off its socket on the logic board.

    • It is useful to twist the spudger axially from beneath the fan cable wires to release the connector.

    • The fan socket and the fan connector can be seen in the second and third pictures. Be careful not to break the plastic fan socket off the logic board as you use your spudger to lift the fan connector straight up and out of its socket. The layout of the logic board shown in the second picture may look slightly different than your machine but the fan socket is the same.

One note of caution, beware of surprises. I had a problem with my Macbook Pro last summer and took it to Apple for repair and it turned out to be a settings issue and nothing mechanical but in the discovery process it was gutted and re-assembled. When it developed a fan problem last month I ordered a fan from Ifixit and went through the repair process. After removing the base plate it was then time to remove the fan using a Torx #6 screwdriver here is where the surprise was. Apple had substituted one of the three screws with a different type. Luckily I was able to find a screwdriver that worked.

So be be prepared for a possible surprise.
